Mistakes of Mine Songtext
von Carl Douglas

Hey, hey
Well I′m sitting here everyday
Counting the time
Grind up, it is still a room
'Cause of the mistake of mine

I think there some truth in what they say
If you′ve stepped out of line
You're gonna have to pay
And I'm sick of him, counting the time for a mistake of

You know it′s never ever happened
To this full man before (this poor man before)
And the more I′m thinking of her
It's really hurts me, more and more

You know I wasn′t even trying
Just sent away
But me a whole lot of trouble
Many even prayed, them see me here
Counting the time for a mistake of ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, mine


As the sun comes, shining in
I tell 'em here, another day begins
I count my fingers, one to ten
′Cause I'm never never never never coming here again
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no

The law man was so biased
Hell bent to take it out on me (hell bent to take it out on me)
I signed my statement, admitting the truth
But now this face is between the sea

I was accused and he was amused
Lord, Lord, Lord, how I′ve been used
And I'm sitting here, counting the time for a mistake of ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, mine

(Sitting here counting the time)
Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, mine
Sitting here counting time when I wanna do right (right, right, right)
Sitting here counting time when I wanna do right (right, right, right)

Sitting here counting time when I wanna do right (right, right, right)
Sitting here counting time when I wanna do right (right, right, right)
Sitting here counting time when I wanna do right

Sitting here counting the time when I wanna do right (right, right, right)
(Sitting here counting the time when I wanna do right)
(Sitting here counting the time when I wanna do right, right, right, right)


Sitting here counting time when I wanna do right (right, right, right)
Sitting here counting time when I wanna do right (right, right, right)
Sitting here counting time when I wanna do right (right, right, right)

Sitting here counting time when I wanna do right (right, right, right)
Sitting here counting time when I wanna do right (right, right, right)
Yes he wa-oh-as
